Can Chad Reed find that winning touch at San Diego this weekend
Aussie Line Up: Chad Reed (450), Brett Metcalfe (450), Adam Monea (450), Jackson Richardson (250West)

Ryan Dungey will lead the way into the sixth round of the 2015 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship with Ken Roczen, Trey Canard and Eli Tomac hot on his heels.

Aussie Chad Reed has had a lot of great races in San Diego though this weekends event will take place in a all new stadium for the SX series. This weekend will also mark the the last weekend of AMA Supercross action for Adam Monea as he returns home to prepare for the opening round of the MX Nationals, while Brett Metcalfe is also likely to make this weekend his final SX race as he turns his attention to the Canadian supercross championship.

In the 250 West class, Cooper Webb will look to continue his dominating run over the past couple of rounds and extend his points lead heading into the break for the West Coast riders. Aussie Jackson Richardson will also have his final race for a few weeks and will be aiming to crack the top ten after a 11th place finish at A3.

The good news for us Aussies is we will have to more riders ready to step in when the East Coast lites kicks off next weekend in Taylor Potter and Hayden Mellross

Round six will air live in Australia at 2:00pm AEST on ESPN via the Foxtel network.

After having a sensational night out at Renmark last weekend for our first race of the 2015 season aboard our Suzuki RM-Z 250 where we even managed to land on the podium in the Vets B class, this weekend we will swap the bike for the lens as we head over to check out all the action from the opening round of the 2015 InsureMyRide Enduro-X Nationals.

After making it to the final round in Melbourne last year we could not miss out on the opportunity to head to Queensland for the opening round this year and will do out best to bring you some images and short instagram video's during the day when we can.

Check back Sunday for a full run down of racing and shortly after a full gallery of images, with a good chance of a second gallery popping up later in the week.

Sunday once we land back at home will be spent catching up on all the Supercross action from San Diego.
